Card Club - March - Vellum Greeting

I started with a digital greeting from Bird's Cards. I changed the greeting then laid out a few and color printed them on vellum. I was quick so I was able to cover them with clear embossing powder and heat them. Really happy with the results. I cut a Stampin Up Top Note from handmade paper then another from colored paper. I matched the 1.75 inch circle behind the greeting with the same paper. The vellum was cut with Spellbinder Smooth Circle Nestabilities. I cut the colored Top Note in half crosswise and trimmed the bumps off the right and left hand side one the cut I just made. I offset the color Top Note behind the handmade paper one. I wrapped baker's twine/thread around the bottom half, knotted it and trimmed the ends. This layer was then adhered to the grey card front. I layered the colored circle, the vellum greeting on the top half of the Top Note and created a hole in the middle of the rose with a push pin. Pushed the brad through and spread the prongs apart on the inside of the card. I created birthday, thinking of you, and sympathy greetings.
